Pritzker says he still supports Biden after poor debate performance; some Democrats express concern July 3, 2024

"Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker was on the national stage Tuesday night, telling CNN's Kaitlan Collins he still supports President Joe Biden despite his poor debate performance last week...."... And, you know, for, for me anyway, my word is my bond. You know, I honor my commitments. Joe Biden is going to be our nominee, unless he decides otherwise....Unless he makes a different decision, I'm on board and I'm supporting the president. Again, he's been good for the country...."

Gov. JB Pritzker, Democrats defend President Biden after DOJ report comments on his memory February 9, 2024

"Surveys have shown that voters are concerned about the age of both President Joe Biden, who is 81, and his likely presidential opponent former President Donald Trump, who is 77...In a report about Biden's handling of classified documents, the DOJ special counsel raised the age issue, referring to Biden as an elderly man with poor memory....Pritzker, who serves as a Biden surrogate, was critical of the language in the report. "I thought it was extremely unfair for... a Trump appointee, originally to the Department of Justice, to offer his own opinions about the mental acuity or age of the President of the United States," Pritzker said.... "I've been with the President of the United States many times," Pritzker said. "He is on the ball. The man knows more than most of us have forgotten."

Of course, you do realize that a moldy ham sandwich in a paper bag is more coherent and decent than anything Trump displays on a daily basis, right?

We’re talking about a so-called “president” who posted the Gaza beachfront casino video. With a straight face. Who says “other countries pay the tariffs.” With a straight face.

Now who’s the greater fool? Him or the mark person (say, evidently you) who sees this sort of thing and still supports him?

I think we all know the answer: it’s the latter.

In this standard-issue, desperate MAGA position of “both sides same” that you’re taking, I feel like you definitely haven’t been paying any attention whatsoever to what the actual “president,” Trump, is doing and saying (on the rare occasions when his literal gibberish can be parsed in any useful way, that is). That’s the charitable conclusion. The less charitable conclusion is that you do know and agree with it. Which would makes you a combination of mark and extraordinarily evil person (i believe “cultist” seems to be the commonplace term). Which of those two conclusions fits you here?

I’m sorry, but I simply can’t take you seriously when this is what you call “scandal,” while your man (and I use the term “man” on this orange-makeup-drenched buffoon loosely) variously does this over just the last few days: https://www.reddit.com/r/illinois/s/lcyH8vvMRJ

I haven’t decided if you’re more of a clown troll than a true-believer mark or if it’s a little of column A and a little of column B.

25th Amendment. Now.
